Am i supossed to be impressed? You have 4.7k life with like 65% damage reduction 2 shields which you use multiple times and a soraka healer.
Should the towers of 3 shot you?
EDIT: I like how literally every person responding to this post completely ignored the soraka.
As much as I want turret buffs, this is a poor example for the argument. A full tank Sion with 4,600 HP and over 150 armor with a Soraka shielding him should be the one to tank the turrets. That's your role in the teamfight, is to soak damage. If you showed me a glass cannon Kog'Maw tanking 14 shots and walking away, it would be different.
A mid to late game sion tanking towers, this is how its supposed to work, thats the original purpose of tanks in league, to absorb tower shots so the team can push
I love how so many people in these comments are missing the point. Sion being Tanky which by all means he is not aside from health and shields. the dude has like 2 and 1/4 of armor in items isn't the issue here.
The issue is that by 51 shots and over 30 seconds under 2 NEXUS TOWERS (what should be the last defense and the most powerful towers) the damage did not keep ramping up to the point that he should not have been there. By that amount of time and shots, he should have been dead or at least running away from the towers as they were going to kill him.
Towers don't need to 3 shot tanks but they do need to at least be able to ramp up enough to deal the damage necessary to make them not sit under a tower for 30 seconds. Make them deal % health damage or something because at least then they can properly scale up instead of just letting people do whatever under them.
should come back laser towers?
People are looking at towers in a vacuum. Saying "Well look at your team healing and shielding you" is nonsense. This is the current state of the game. Yea, they healed him, yea, he shielded, but if towers were up to par this wouldn't be allowed. No one is saying heals and shields shouldn't help, but to be tanky against fortifications to this degree is absurd. This is regular gameplay, those people aren't specced into specifically negating towers, he's not stacking armor. This is not an outlier example. This shouldn't happen, period.
anyone trying to defend that is oblivious to the whole point of towers.
You act as if this is anything new. This is from back in what I assume is cinderhulk meta?

Edit: I agree that turrets are stupidly weak right now, but let’s not make things that arent worst case Scenario (Sion tanking turrets while having his shields and heals from Soraka) into worst case scenario.
i feel that one of the keys to becoming a good high elo player, especially top and jungle, is mastering how useless towers actually are.
I liken it to a dark souls game,
your first encounter is absolute hair pulling madness. Later encounters become a soft waltz.
#BuffTowers2018
posting clips from a stomp-fest like this doesn't mean very much.
So we nerf tank items so they can't do this or do we buff towers so that they annihilate tanks and erase squishies on contact? i'm all up for nerfing tank items but boards would go apeshit if we took even 25 hp off one so do we make it so towers can kill tanks?
